We test StyleRank with styles delineated by a single composer, and by an entire genre, using the Classical Archives MIDI datasethttps://www.classicalarchives.com/midi.html. In total there are 75 composers, and 6 musical genres. More details on the composition of the dataset can be found in the Appendixhttps://github.com/jeffreyjohnens/style_rank/tree/master/appendix. We keep only one MIDI file per composition. Each MIDI file is represented as a list of pitches, sorted lexicographically according to onset and pitch. To compare two pieces, the Levenshtein distance [1]} is measured twice, once for the first 100 pitches in each piece, and once for the last 100 pitches. We eliminate pieces which have a Levenshtein distance less than \(0.75\) , after normalizing the distance on the range \([0,1]\) . We choose this conservative value to ensure all duplicates are removed.
